Having some really weird mental problems.?
Question:
A little background: My mom is skitso-effective. She is not full, but just has some symptoms of it. She is also on medication for anxiety and depression.
All my life I have felt like I have to hurry myself. I am always worried and anxious about things - and then I look at others and see people do not act the same way I do.
I will sometimes just worry about things for hours and cannot stop them in my head. Also, when I am in public sometimes I get very anxious or nervice for just no apparent reason. It's like I cannot control it and am telling myself I'll be fine but I shake and move very oddly, almost fidgety.
Sometimes I also think about death and am very depressed. I don't want my life to just be lost and forgotten when I die. I just want to make a difference in the world so my time is not meaningless. At times, I feel like I can almost be two sided - like angry and sad.
Answers:
I would definitely see a psychologist. From what you've described, it sounds like you're suffering from an Anxiety Disorder with a side of Depression - this is especially likely if your mother is Schizoaffective.
So I would make an appointment and get a perscription for anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medications. It's nothing to be ashamed of - it's a chemical imbalance in your brain and the medications can correct the balance, and one in five people will suffer from mental illness at some part in their life. Believe me, you're not alone.
if you have concerns about your mental health i really advise you go and speak to a professional you trust - maybe a school nurse or advisor, or a gp. they're there to help you and might even be able to put your mind at rest a bit. good luck
its sounds a bit like me, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, suicidal behaviour. I think more than anything you need a friend and a companian in this world. If you want, you can contact me whenever you want. I wouldn't mind. I'm 15 and female.
